The Capitalism Podcast with Ryan Daniel Moran
Hosted by Ryan Daniel
A podcast for entrepreneurs focused on building and selling businesses, with a heavy emphasis on financial metrics and founder psychology.
A show for entrepreneurs focused on the entire lifecycle of a business, from scaling to a multi-million dollar exit. Host Ryan Daniel Moran interviews founders and experts, digging into specific financial details like revenue, valuation, and sale price, as well as the psychological hurdles of entrepreneurship. The show also features solo "This Week in Capitalism" segments where Moran analyzes current events through a libertarian, pro-capitalist lens.
“The show's direct, numbers-first approach stands out. Moran is unafraid to ask guests for specific financial figures—revenue, sale price, multiples—and then probe the math behind them, moving beyond generic success stories to the concrete details of a deal.”

He then transitions from the "what" to the "how," exploring the strategic process and the founder's psychological journey, asking about fears ("What are people afraid of when they're afraid to raise their prices?") and personal breakthroughs. He often asks guests to share what they would have done differently to extract lessons for the audience.
A mix of long-form guest interviews and solo commentary segments under the "This Week in Capitalism" banner. Moran's style is direct and inquisitive, often using his own business experiences to build rapport. He frequently summarizes guest insights to ensure clarity for the audience.
